- Save changes and return to compose a mail.
- Now on the toolbar you must find and extra option called as Insert Image.
- Thats it.. You are done.

If you'd like to forward HTML-formatted messages or messages with images, select Gmail's rich formatting options when composing. Rich formatting is not available in Gmail's basic HTML view or in your signature settings. At this time there is no way to save customized formatting options as a default Gmail setting.
